Tracy is well known for saying: “Become the kind of leader that people would follow voluntarily; even if you had no title or position.”

In this brief, but important thought Tracy notes a common misstep of fledgling and experienced leaders alike—that one cannot lead based solely on the merit of their position alone. No leader will get the best out of people are who are only motivated by the fact that someone else is in charge. In the business world the best work usually doesn’t come from employees who are motivated solely by the hierarchy and the fear of job loss. With volunteers it is doubly important to be a leader people want to follow, that leader should “live the cause” so to speak. The burden of the leader is to inspire good works.

John Maxwell‘s leadership philosophy: “Everything rises and falls on leadership.”

Jody wanted to find out more about this prolific writer. Here is what he found:

John Maxwell led churches in Indiana, Ohio, California, and Florida. He left a church in California after serving as senior pastor for 14 years in 1995 to speak and write full time. In 2004, he returned to the ministry in Florida. In 2008, he served as a guest pastor at the Crystal Cathedral in California.

He has founded INJOY, Maximum Impact, ISS and EQUIP.

Every year he speaks to Fortune 500 companies, government leaders (national and international) and many organizations.

Jody is sure many of you have read at least one of John’s books on leadership.
